Antioxidants During Pregnancy
Mangosteen juice is very suitable for both pregnant women and nursing mothers, as its composition is unimpeachable – it is 100% natural mangosteen juice, without added preservatives, sugars or other additives.
Due to its effects on the bodies of pregnant women, mangosteen qualifies as a functional food, which means it is not consumed solely for its pleasant taste, but is still a food without known toxic effects.
The immune system changes significantly during pregnancy. During fertilization and the first weeks of pregnancy, a pregnant woman's immune system is considerably weakened, which is a very important adaptation of the body. Later in pregnancy, however, the immune system begins to work more intensely, protecting both the mother and the fetus. But precisely because of the intensity of the immune system's activity, a pregnant woman experiences every cold much harder than before pregnancy. That is why it is highly recommended that a pregnant woman supports her body with a sufficient intake of antioxidants. In addition to adequate nutrition, this can also be done by consuming mangosteen juice, which contains more than 45 xanthone antioxidants.
Sufficient intake of antioxidants during pregnancy positively affects the course of pregnancy and reduces the risk of complications. One of the most undesirable effects of oxidative stress is the development of preeclampsia – a condition in which a pregnant woman has high blood pressure and problems with the function of certain organs, such as the liver and kidneys. Since this is a serious medical condition with severe consequences, the best measure is preventive care. Insufficient intake of antioxidants during pregnancy is also associated with the child's health and complications such as premature birth and low birth weight. It affects not only physical health but also mental health. High presence of oxidative stress is associated with the development of gestational and postpartum depression. As mentioned at the beginning, antioxidants play a very important role in the functioning of the immune system.
